Taking a dip in the ocean and coming face to face with a predator of the deep would be enough to scare anyone. Modern day great white sharks are intimidating creatures, but they wouldn’t have held a candle to the ancient super-sized beast known as megalodon.
The long-extinct shark has been the subject of many research efforts in the past, with scientists attempting to determine when and where it lived, and perhaps even figure out why it’s no longer around. Now, new fossil evidence suggests that the colossal creature actually died off quite a bit earlier than was originally thought, and great white sharks might have been to blame.

Obviously the only solution is common-sense Great White Shark control.

Isn't it amazing that Climate Change can cause great white sharks to kill of a giant species millions of years ago?

"Why is this under Yahoo Finance?"If they put it in Politics, it would be Virtue Signaling. The editor is a new hire, from Huffpo. Science is right out. That's reserved for "Climate Change" and chem trails.

If the Megaladon was significantly bigger than the Great White, wouldn’t they have been killing and eating different things?

A major reason why Megaladon died out was slowly cooling ocean temps and the loss of the species of whales it hunted.

Nope it was either tax cuts or lack of universal background checks.
